17108 2001-08-16 23:46:00 I have a Compaq 1598DT Laptop. Whenever I try to defrag it all appears to work okay, but it never completes, error messages are 'defrag has restarted many times etc etc'.
I have disabled screensaver, hibernation, power saving, task manager, etc etc. with no effect. any suggestions? what about a dos based defragger to get around any windows TSR type programs?

There is a really good write up somewhere on the F1 pages about dos defrag as well but haven't got time to search for it. Guest (0)

17111 2001-08-17 23:57:00 I used to have so much trouble too, until i downloaded the free defragger at www.powerdefrag.com No problems now, it runs straight through and reboots your system at the end. Hope this helps you. Guest (0)
17112 2001-08-18 07:22:00 According to a phone call I got at 9am (on a staurday!) it is all my fault accoring to my friends GF, *sigh*, not her obsession with having ICQ etc always running, even when off line.

So if you can't fix it, it would seem blaming me helps :-).
